Happy 2011 {THE LIST}

It's a new year and I'm that much closer to 35! So, as we ring in 2011 I think it's only appropriate to do a little year in review and update everyone on my 35 before 35 progress.

2010 was a fantastic year for our family. We were afforded the opportunity to better our lives through new jobs and a new state of residence. While we do miss our family and friends back home we LOVE our new life in Louisiana and are excited about what's to come.

The kids are growing well and are achieving things we never thought possible. Although 2010 began REALLY rocky for Cam, the end shaped up to be pretty promising. He now has an additional ADHD diagnosis which we're managing through diet (lots of organic and no red dye 40) and 5mg of Focalin.

This January the boys will begin Basketball and we'll be taking lots of pictures.

We're also planning a 2 week long visit back home this summer (maybe around my birthday), and plan on buying a home down here in the country as well. The house hunt begins (in earnest) this Feb/March and we can't wait! We know what we're looking for, just hope out pocketbooks agree with our dreams.

Hope you all have a happy and prosperous 2011!
